Awesome news for square. I am very eager to see how this changes the natures of: 1) The Starbucks App - will square replace it outright or will there be an option to use starbucks or square? 2) Paying with a card at starbucks - same registers or new registers with square dongles? Hopefully its a better dongle if so...

PS - Anyone noticed how they seemed to be stepping around the idea of those local businesses being other coffee shops? Craft businesses in the Press Release...like craft coffee shops?

Android Starbucks app "card" payment was just rolled out to Canada and the UK last month - I doubt it'll go anywhere for a while for these locales. It might be interesting to see if any payment technology roll-outs beyond US/UK/Canada go with Starbucks-powered stuff or Square stuff. I'm guessing Starbucks for now.
